Hi, what is the identification of this fossil in my collection. It seems like a very good specimen.

The first image shows part of a Lepidodendron sp. notice the diamond pattern. Second photo shows more plants all though I'm unsure which one, possibly Calamites sp.?

I don't see pronounced ribbing like you would see in Calamites on the second item. 

Better pictures might help, but Cordiates could be another possibility.
